The storm passed long enough for us to pack up and head out of town around the Seven Sisters. Ominous clouds threatened all day, with rain squalls and heavy black clouds all around us. Temps stayed in the upper 50's. We stopped in Kitwanga at the base of the Seven Sisters mountains, the start of the Stewart-Cassiar Hwy 37 north. From this point on it was a spectacular ride through the wilderness of British Columbia. The mountains, rivers, and valleys were a visual feast, in spite of the ominous black clouds the covered most ... read more

Geo: 54.7828, -127.168We were on the road again at 6:45 (it's become our usual takeoff time) and headed back to Quesnel for fuel, breakfast and to pick up Hwy 97 north to Prince George. It was a chilly 43 coming back down from Wells, and along the way we spotted our first "wildlife" - a large black bear crossing the road about 200 yards in front of us. In Quesnel we ate at Granvilles Coffee House and Restaurant on Reid St. Awesome baked goods, coffee, and great prices for breakfast. Plus, we could sit outside along the sidewalk and enjoy the morning sunshine! The temperature hit 70 as we made our way north under clear blue skies, following the Fraser River again. At Prince George we picked up the Yellowhead Hwy 16 for the last half ... read more

Geo: 51.6475, -121.29 Another gorgeous morning greeted us! After having our coffee on a deck with great views of the town and surrounding mountains, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at the motel. We left Leavenworth about 7:30 under clear skies, heading west on a virtually deserted Hwy 2, over Stevens Pass. (Recommend you do this wonderful motorcycle road during the week as the weekend traffic is bumper to bumper.) At Everett, we picked up I-5 north for the one hour run up to Bellingham in light traffic, then onto Hwy 542, the Mt. Baker Scenic Hwy. We traveled on this great country road, passing lots of bikes heading south from Canada, and from Nuggents Corner on Hwy 9, north to the border at Sumas, with Mt. Baker sitting in its hazy slendor to the east. After ... read more

Geo: 39.2193, -121.059It was just after 6:30 am when we hit the road with a great sendoff and fanfare from cousins Miki, Andy and Paula. Under bright blue skies and temps in the mid-60s we headed north on Hwy 49 to 89, stopping for breakfast in Graeagle. We worked our way over to 395 and then north to Susanville, as the temperatures hovered in the mid-80s. We took the scenic route on Hwy 139 past Eagle Lake through the Modoc National Forest, and had the highway pretty much all to ourselves. Mt. Shasta kept an eye on us all the way to the Oregon border, where we picked up 97 in Klamath Falls. Continuing north past Crater Lake (no time to stop this trip) we arrived at our motel in Chemult after a nine hour day ... read more
